The times are all unofficial but they are close. i started at the very back and the runners started out at a sprint. I didn't want to do that so I just ran a race pace for me and slowly I started picking some off, one at a time. When i got back and saw 8 minutes I was estatic.

What would you do differently?:

It went better than planned

I had to run past my bike and went to my truck to use it as a block for the restroon. A lady was in the car next to me and I said excuse me but Ive got to go. This killed a lot of time. Then I ran back to my bike.

The water bottle was bothersome but it kept my mind off being tired. I do need to ride more. This was the 1st time I've ridden my tri bike since October. I'm still a real newbie to this sport and turning is a big problem for me on the tri bike.

What would you do differently?:

Just train more but I was pretty happy w/ the ride.

What would you do differently?:

I was happy

This was a low key race for people to just go out, exercise and have fun. It was very well run and had a good time. I hope they have it next year.

Course:

The course was about as flat as it could be, that is good in 1 aspect but you never get to quit pedalling. I passed a lot of people and that was about my best ride I've done. About 6 miles from the finish, my aero bottle came loose and I had to hold it in w/ my wrist. Going out the road was smooth and back it was vibrating rough

flat and humid and I loved it, finally a warm day. I and was happy with the run and ran to my maximum ability.

Yay, Karl! What in the tarnation is a "noseeum"? I'm glad your IT band behaved. I didn't know Pam was doing this race, too, and it makes me smile that you're able to share events together. Good job on a race well run!

Karl congrats on a great race. It seems like you did a great job pacing yourself on the two run's and on the bike. It's pretty impressive that you haven't been out on the bike since Oct and you still put together a great ride. Congrats to Pam as well and it's great to see you both able to race together.
